Try John Feierabend's favorite tools and techniques to help children explore and develop their voices.
In this essential kit, Feierabend includes puppets, toys, and instruments designed to help with two types of vocal development activities.
Includes a book of suggested uses for each vocal prop.
- Demonstrate glissando or sliding and echo with the slide whistle.
- Get their attention with the Hand Eyes (3457).
- Have students make their voices follow the shapes of the floor yarn, pipe cleaners and ghost and whale puppets.
- Let the children toss their voices with the beanbag or the propeller on a stick or spinner.
- The tuning fork give a good key for the songs they can sing with the wooden microphone.
- Sing on neutral syllables with the cow puppet who opens his mouth sidely.
The guide also has 3 echo and 4 call-and-response songs to get you started.
Pitch Exploration Activities invite children to create sliding sounds and encourage them to use their head voices. Echo Songs and Call-and-Response Songs allow children to use their newly found head voices to sing short melodic phrases.
Kit works on its own or with First Steps In Music curriculum.
